No. Frontline products should be used on the specified species.
This is because one of the main components of Frontline, S-Methoprene is needed in a higher dose in cats. This is because it does not last as long in a cat than in a dog. So, if you used Frontline for dogs on your cat, it may not be as effective.
However, this higher dose is still safe to use on a dog - so you could use Frontline for cats on a dog.

∙ 12y agoYou can use Frontline for Cats on a dog - but you need to be aware there may be a difference in weight. Therefore it would probably only work in a small dog. It is always recommended to use the correct Frontline for the species.
Frontline for Dogs and Cats both have the same active ingredients, but the cat one has a higher dose of (S)-Methoprene because this dissipates faster in a cat. The dog will not overdose receiving cat frontline, but the cat will not get the best protection if you give it Frontline for Dogs.

Can you use a flea collar while using frontline on your dogs?
Frontline by itself should be sufficient to deal with your cat or dog's flea problem. Using a flea bath will reduce the effectiveness of the Frontline (you should only wash your dog with a gentle shampoo to maintain Frontline's protection).
Is it safe to use frontline and a flea collar?
Use the preventic collar. Ive had good success. I used the frontline type products.....they do kill ticks after they bite your animal. Both my dogs still ended up testing positive for lyme disease while using that chemical stuff......so I did not see the point. Besides.....ask yourself this.....would you put that stuff on your own skin and let it soak in? I wouldnt. I try not to poison myself....and frankly....my dogs mean too much to me.
